Answer 1

students should be given pocket money bt at certain age like-13

Answer 2

Hello,

It really depends on the age of the individual.

If they are under 13 then you should only give them a little bit of pocket money, just for sweets or for saving.

If they are still at school and under 15 then you could give them a bit of money each week £3 - 10, so they can buy some sweets, a DVD or CD, or start saving for the future.

If they are over 16 and still in education - then they should seek work to help support themselves, but you can still 'treat' them occasionally rather than give regular pocket money.

If the student is at university, then any money which can be provided will be useful; especially if the student lives away from home.


At the end of the day, if the student is quite young and has no independence; then you will need to give them some 'pocket' money or provide the things they need because they don't have any ways of earning money.

If they are over 16 then they need to learn that parents aren't a cash machine, and they should get a part time job. If you continue to regularly support a student over 16 with pocket money they will get used to it, and they need to learn to manage their own finances.

I am 17, attending a six-form college and i plan to go to university next year. I have a part-time job which pays for most of the things i want. My parents do not provide me with regular pocket money, however they may occasionally buy me clothes or a DVD.


Thanks

I think this question definitely depends on the age of the student. The younger the student, the less money. Parents provide what their children need. If a kid/student needs pocket money, parents should know exactly what for. While they are at school what more could they really need money for other than school lunches and maybe something to drink if you do not feel comfortable with them drinking from the water fountains. I strongly believe that giving children pocket money to dispense at their own will can lead to trouble. Kids of all ages are easily influenced and I wouldn't trust other children at school. In more depth, I would be afraid that my child could be swayed to buy drugs, or talked into some sort of bribe when other students found out that they carry pocket money. Realistically speaking, any of these things, and more could happen. To sum this answer up, I think it would be safe to say that no, kids do not need pocket money unless parents know exactly what it is being spent on, then, as a parent, I would want to see what they have to show for it. Better safe, and overprotective than sorry.

You start by calling a district manager. You get that number at another McD's and you don't tell them the story. What they are doing is illegal. The manager has himself in a predicament. If he searches the employee and you are wrong, he can be sued as well as McDs. I know that doesn't help you but. . .I might be tempted to video tape the next transaction or two or I might be tempted to contact the manager at that McD's when she wasn't there. . .but it sounds like more than one is doing it. That's a real sleazy way to steal and only for real stupid people. It also infuriates customers. You can't be the only one it's happening too and don't think she can't speak English. She is trading receipts and she thinks that will back her up if she is caught. Someone else didn't get their receipt. I thought those cashiers were on tape anyway. You can be sure that McD's isn't at fault. It's very hard to catch a thief but I'll bet the manager is already working on that. I'd be for confronting him and telling him that when they finally catch her stealing, you want your money back. . .and some freebies for all the trouble. So tape her. And another thought. . .if they tell you they tape their employees, ask to see the tape of your transaction. She is probably smart enough to stash the money so that it doesn't show on camera but she had to do something with your receipt or not ring it up. . .and that should be on camera. Good luck. That just makes me mad to think about it.

Answer 5

Only to the extent of meeting any enexpected situation like bus strike, or buy some material for project work at school etc., But control and watch is required. Even in small cities, nowadays it is common to see school chidren bunking classes to go film, taking drugs and other unwanted habits. They are getting pocket money in hundreds of Rupees.Therefore, there is need to prevent the bad influence on the children. It is better to be wise and strict now than to repent when the milk is spoilt.

Answer 6

From age five, start giving children some money say one or two dollars a week and encourage them to put in their piggy bank. They can learn the Math and when they want anything, they can ask you if they can use the money from the piggy bank to buy it. Help the child to calculate whether he has enough money for the thing or not and whether the thing is suitable for the child or not. You get to decide that the child can buy it or not but it will be his or her money. By age 8 to 10, they can try good investments such as selling lemonade on a Saturday to raise their money amount, with your assistance of course. Thus, by age 12, you child will be ready to recieve certain fixed amount of money per week and independent decisions about it, depending on the fact that they can certainly not spend it on forbidden things such as cigarettes, drugs and so on.

Answer 7

A small amount (may be decided on case by case basis) as pocket money is okay. That too only for children above 12 years. Simultaneously they should be taught to save, and to keep accounts.

Answer 8

Students have need of pocket money. It is very neccessary for them. Until the student complete his study he have given pocket money.

Answer 9

How can you consider for a moment to send your child to school without some money? They may need a pencil, something to drink or heaven forbid buy or join another student in some social setting. Without it they are an outcast, perhaps forever.

Answer 10

They should be treated as adults and they will act as one...If they see that you trust them enough , by giving them pocket money, they will try to live up to your expectations. So trust them.
